FACTORS AFFECTING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH FIRST TYPE DIABETES MELLITUS

Original language description

Introduction and aims: First type diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic autoimmune disease. In accordance with contemporary estimates, about 3 500 children suffer from it in the Czech Republic. Statistical data indicate that one in two thousand children become ill with T1DM. The adolescence is considered as the most complicated development period in the life of an individual. Its diagnosis and therapy call for a discipline including the compliance and selfmonitoring. This requirement falls outside the scope of the medical control and thus, the pediatric medical care puts ever growing emphasis on the evaluation of the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL). The aim of the work was to determine the degree of specific HRQOL and general QOL as reported by adolescent first type diabetics aged 13–18 years, their parents and children from a control group in the Czech Republic. Materials and methodology: Following that in methodology, the results were compared, factors affecting HRQOL and QOL were identified and effects of the disease on the family as a whole were examined. PedsQL was used as a tool – module 3.0 diabetes, 4.0 general QOL and 2.0 effects of the disease on the family. Results and discussion: The results demonstrated that the children reported higher specific HRQOL as well as general QOL compared to their parents. In adolescents, the specific HRQOL is most affected by the area of diabetes symptoms. Results of PedsQL module 2.0 suggest that diabetes can negatively affect the peace of mind in parents and is associated with considerable fear. Conclusions: The main benefit of the research lies in the results, which provide valuable insight into the quality of life of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
